“Let’s add a dependency on X.”

try saying instead

“Let’s agree that someday our application will break because of X.”

What might change for you?

@33MHz @hutattedonmyarm knowing a little about JavaScript, I’m willing to believe this module does real work. Found https://gist.github.com/jonschlinkert/e30c70c713da325d0e81 by the author (but haven’t read).

@schmonz @hutattedonmyarm the right tool for the job... while this can be useful, there's still a trade-off in taking on someone else's tools for basic things vs your own tools / handling it internally. If nothing else than effort in auditing. :}

@33MHz @hutattedonmyarm agreed. Making a tradeoff explicit (and maybe not making it, or deciding also to mitigate it) was where the initial toot was aimed.

@schmonz @33MHz Just read through it. Sometimes I hate Javascript :P His is-even and is-odd are pretty simple, but they rely on his is-number. (Which is also pretty short and simple, but takes into account JS number weirdness)
